This recipe is absolutely amazing!
Apricot and Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast
1 (8 oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened
½ c. chopped dried apricot halves
3 T. sugar
1 (16 oz) Italian bread loaf
4 large eggs
1 ½ c. half & half
1 ½ tsp. vanilla
Confectioners sugar
Maple flavored syrup
Spray 13 x 9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, apricots and sugar; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy.
Cut and discard ends from bread. Cut bread into 2” thick slices; cut through top crust of each bread slice to form a pocket (do not cut completely in half). Stuff cream cheese mixture evenly into pockets. Place in prepared baking dish.
Whisk together eggs, half and half and vanilla. Pour mixture over bread slices. Cover and chill for 30-45 minutes, turning once.
Spray a griddle or large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium high heat. Cook bread slices on hot griddle 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and serve with syrup.
